1. 持而盈之，不若其已。
自傲自滿者，不如心靜謙卑的人。
Arrogant and complacent people are inferior to those who are calm and humble.

2. 揣而銳之，不可長保。
行為極端喜愛顯露鋒芒的人，不可能長保住鋒芒。
Those who are trenchant and like to show off their sharpness will not last long.

3. 金玉滿堂，莫之能守。
家財萬貫金玉滿堂的人，無法長久擁有。
He who abounds with gold and treasures cannot possess them forever.

4. 富貴而驕，自遺其咎。
富貴又驕傲的人，終會為自己招來禍害。
Wealthy, arrogant people will eventually incur mishaps.

5. 功成、名遂、身退，天之道。
不管我們擁有多少功名、成就、聲望，總有一天都會從我們身上褪去，這是那至高者-天道，為這世上立定的自然規律。
No matter how much achievement and fame one holds, it will one day disappear, this is the law of nature set by the Highest - the Word of Heaven.
